Hey, There is some disagreement regarding the interface to access statements in various entities.
== Current implementation == This is not fully implemented yet, but it's what the interface implies will be done. Entities contain a list of statements. In other words, all items, properties and queries can have statements. Obvious objection: "statements" for properties and queries should not have associated rank and references. They could just have a list of claims. Original reason to go with this approach anyway: the alternative is to put statement handling in Item and add claim handling in either both Property and Query or in a common base. This would result in duplication and loss of common interface for the Entities. == New proposal == I think we can accommodate all the concerns listed above as follows: * All Entities provide access to a list of claims. * Properties and Queries contain a list of claims. * Items contain a list of statements to which they provide access both as list of statements and list of claims. The apparent list of claims would correspond to a filter on rank=primary followed by a map from statement to it's claim on the list of statements. Any objections to implementing it like that?
